How are you doing today? You are havening one heck of a roller coaster ride.
A few small miracles thrown in there would be nice ... comfort, solace and silly moments of simple *joy* ...
Lorena!!! I only now saw the *present* you left for me on Monday's thread!!! Thank you!! They truly look like my pups! *grins* Are your boys ready for another school year?!
Molly ... that music sounds so pretty ... I am humbled by the number of fine musicians we have here ... I've a wooden spoon and a stainless steel pot ... does that count?!?! HAR!
OneidaM ... I believe He is after telling you ... OUT! with the old ... IN! ... with the new ...
Ok ... I've the most wondrous dog tip which I have waited to mention until I was sure that it works ... this is useful for getting your dog to come, even when he may not want to ... even from a great distance ... it is also useful in getting him to stop doing something which is not appropriate ...
Get a metal key chain and put 5 keys on it ... 3 copper keys and 2 aluminum ... alternating them ... when jingled ... it makes a lovely tune which is very enticing to a dog's ears ... for he hears tones we can not when the keys collide.
Do not over use the key chain ... and try not to let him see it ... adding to the magic ... and ALWAYS reward GRANDLY ... with abounding *joy* each time pup returns to you ... maybe having a treat ready at hand ~~~ though I just praise and hug ...
Yesterday, while I was on errands, Louis and the guys came to mow the lawn ... one of them left the gate to the fence open . Old Soul knows how to open the back door ... when I returned ... both were gone! I've wooded areas about ... and I could not see them. I called ... to no avail ... I gathered my key chain and *jingled* the keys ... within a minute they came bounding out of the woods! Miss Marple ... this might work with Cassie!! Give it a try.
Jemian ... you're nearing the home stretch!
kayak ... *praying* that miracle cream proves to be exactly that ...
ABG ... missing you ...
Now that I have churned up enough bandwidth to last a week ... I am off to complete my toilette avoiding, yes, the profundity bug quite successfully ... as you can see ...
